Treating Spinal Pain With Stem Cell Therapy

People with chronic back pain know that the healing and recovery can take a very long time with traditional practices. Even after taking medication or having surgery, your body may still never be the same. If you suffer from back pain caused by a spinal cord injury, degenerative disease or an inflammatory condition, you might be a good candidate for Stem Cell Spine Therapy.

Regenerative medicine, or stem cell therapy, could help reduce the pain by taking advantage of the body’s natural ability to repair itself. It is a safe, non-surgical alternative to treating many orthopedic conditions; and since it is using the body’s own cells, there is little risk of adverse effects or allergic reactions.

There are three simple steps to this process: harvesting, isolation and injection. This treatment uses stem cells from your own body to reduce pain and inflammation. Adult adipose stem cells are extracted from the body and then concentrated and re-administered. This allows the healing process the begin right away. Cells can be extracted from fat or bone marrow and have the ability to transform into other cell types. This is what makes stem cell therapy so effective for a wide range of conditions.

The total procedure takes less than 2 hours, in sessions of up to 15 minutes each, and you will be fully awake and able to walk right out the door as soon as you are finished. Most patients require 2-4 sets of injections spaced apart, depending on the severity of the condition. Many patients experience results within 6-8 weeks after only 1 treatment.
